OK, there is no such support contract with 6 visits a year. Oracle only has a "premium support" and that is not limited.

Next is, your output does not show any problems. If a disk is failed (regarding to your first post) and the disk is inside a SE3300 box (which is JBOD) all disks will be visible to your systems. there has to be some sort of volumemanagement involved to create cluster manageable volumes (slvm, zfs or vxvm). you need to use the product specific procedure to replace a failed disk in such a volume.

Hi Mr. Duke,

That contract is not with Oracle but it with a external IT support firm..That is why..

Now all working normal but I have some doubts to clear

1. What are the symptoms I mean common faults we look for in this cluster and storage array from the out put
2. How to gracefully shutdown and restart this storage array after disconnected from nodes (Both nodes need to down first am I right? I am able to shutdown and restart both nodes without any issue)


Thanks again for the advice

1. you have to look for errors, like offline resources which should be online. check iostat -eE for errors on the disks...

2. there are only two on/off switches for each power supply on the storage. to shutdown the storage, you need to switch BOTH ps to off (after shutting down the cluster). you can start both nodes in non-cluster mode by entering boot -x from ok prompt.

Hi Mr. Duke,
Just to confirm you are saying it's okay to power down the storage by pressing PS button after I shutdown two nodes properly by # scshutdown –y –g0 ?

Need to power up storage before boot up nodes even though entering boot -x right ?

We done it before power down and power up the storage but my boss is saying there should have some steps to shutdown the storage after shutdown 2 nodes by a laptop connecting directly to storage array

Is there any such trouble-shooting steps that is what I am looking for...but I read all oracle documents unable to find... my bad...please help

Thanks a lot

I find it useful...hope able to work around it..Thanks
